Now it is time to announce our DT Delights from this challenge. As always, in each challenge you, the readers, get to voice your opinion by voting for your favourite and so it is only fitting that my Design Team get to do so as well.

Thanks to the 22 people who took the time to join along our Path during the month of March for Challenge #47. Check out the entries that really caught our attention...

"My DT Delight is Gail. She has used a beautiful and very peaceful image and her sentiment goes perfectly with it. It's a very calming design and a good reminder to all of us too."

Naomi--chosen by Julie...

"My DT Delight is Naomi. I love her canvas and her T.S. Elliot quote, "Every moment is a fresh beginning". She said in her blog post that she doesn't usually make canvases. This one is beautiful and very inspiring!"

If you are interested in claiming a digi, please send me the name of the one image you want and let me know which section it came from. Send your request to popwinners {at} gmail {dot} com (be sure to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols), or click HERE to bring our email up in your program, with the subject, "PoP#47-DT Delight Digi Request". I'm always running rather behind these days, so your patience is appreciated.

Additionally, you are all entitled to the special Challenge #47 DT Delight Badge which you can find below...

Our special yearly prize package will also still be taking place. Remember, if you are chosen as a DT Delight during any of our challenges, your name will be entered into a draw for some digital goodies. You get one entry per choice; so, if two members picked your card, you will earn 2 entries, three members 3 entries, etc. The winner at the time will be notified by email. The next draw will occur sometime in the summer or fall of 2017.

Be sure to join us next Monday to learn what the optional theme for Challenge #49 will be. Right now though, there is still a week left in our current challenge with the optional theme of THE BEAUTY OF NATURE. Click HERE for details. I hope that you will consider coming over to play with us. As always, we'd love to have you join our Path!
